[origin: US4875234A] The telephone comprises a housing having a pivoted panel portion which is circular in the horizontal projection, with a key block being inserted therein. The housing and the pivoted panel portion containing the key block have substantially the form of a spherical segment. Owing to such design the telephone may safely and conveniently be operated also from a lateral or rearward position, in that the pivoted panel portion containing the key block is turned into a position where it approximately faces the operating person.
